Kirsten Leah - I'm jealous! If I could get any machine, equipment, etc. for my home, it would be the elliptical. It burns calories so much faster than anything else--I burned 725 calories in an hour the other day. Don't take Ernie for granted--he'll do great things for you!! :)

Shaun David - great the elliptical is a great way to work out and it is so easy on the joints I use one almost everyday, but I have to go to the gym to use it.

Chelsea - I love that you named him. Don't want Ernie to get lonely this summer!

kindra hall - And YAY for getting it into the room!

Karen (Mikols) Bonar - How exciting! I love our gym b/c it has such a variety, and I need a bit of socialization .... but Ernie sounds like your new BFF. :)

Brooke - It cracks me up that this is your ugly room, and yet it is so flippin' organized! ;) Good luck with Ernie!

Alice G Patterson - Congrats on Ernie and crossing a line through #76... you go girl! By the way, I've got an ugly room, and an ugly basement. There I've said it for all the world to know my shame.

Denise - Your seasonal mindset is SO different in Arizona than in Minnesota! It's just starting to be the time of year where I'm going to run outside! Was it hard for you to adjust when you moved to AZ? (Thanks for replying to my email, btw. I'm going to try commenting here more often!)

Tira J - Funny! We had a machine just like this, sold it on ebay, and the people drove from Arizona to Upland to pick it up in the middle of the night due to the heat. Hope you and Ernie form a wonderful relationships! ha ha!

Courtney Howell - I love that episode of Friends :) Don't feel bad you have an ugly room....we all have one!!!

donya - Go Melissa! Also, there is nothing ugly about those beautiful boxes on the shelves in the background there ;) Love them!
